The money reached the Nisab and a Hawl has passed on it

303

Q 1: If a Hawl (one lunar year calculated from the time a property reaches the minimum amount upon which Zakah is due) passes on the money saved by a person to perform Hajj, before he could save the required sum, is Zakah (obligatory charity) due on the money?

A 1: If this money reaches the Nisab (the minimum amount on which Zakah is due) and a Hawl has passed on it, then Zakah becomes due on it. Its being saved up to be used in performing Hajj does not change the fact that Zakah is due on it.May Allah grant us success. May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions!
